Module compress::flate

DEFLATE Compression and Decompression. Requires flate feature, enabled by default

This module contains an implementation of the DEFLATE compression scheme. This format is often used as the underpinning of other compression formats.

Example

use compress::flate;
use std::fs::File;
use std::path::Path;

let stream = File::open(&Path::new("path/to/file.flate")).unwrap();
let mut decompressed = Vec::new();
flate::Decoder::new(stream).read_to_end(&mut decompressed);
